Aaaand another month of fighting. I'm going to start by saying that this is probably the last month of mma this school year, and that is due to two things. Once I started to wrestle with stronger opponents, I realized that I need to get a bit stronger overall, which means that it would be … Continue reading Training mixed martial arts
Guitar playing
I continued my guitar practice throughout April. This time I polished the piece I learned last month - the jazzy version of Boney M.'s Sunny. I found that there is a very big difference between knowing how to play a piece and being able to play it smoothly. I came to this conclusion because I … Continue reading Guitar playing
Going hiking in Šilėnai
I've always been fond of hiking in the nature, but I rarely every do that. That's mostly because I get occupied with other things and don't find time to do it. But I think that hiking is probably one of the best ways of being active, because you get to see beautiful views of nature, … Continue reading Going hiking in Šilėnai
Helping out at a veterinary clinic.
I FINALLY got the opportunity to help out at a veterinary clinic. Why did I write "FINALLY"? Because I've been trying to get volunteering work at a vet for quite a while now, but with every email I sent, I got a response of "Sorry, we do not allow under-aged and non-vet students to volunteer". … Continue reading Helping out at a veterinary clinic.
Volunteering at the animal hotel “Barkvilis”
This month I volunteered at the animal hotel "Barkvilis". I thought that it would be a great way to gain more know-how with animal care, especially considering the fact that I am planning to study veterinary medicine. I contacted the owner of the hotel and asked if I could help out or participate in taking … Continue reading Volunteering at the animal hotel “Barkvilis”
Volunteering at the opera “Toska”

After that I was taught how to use the scanning devices and was then assigned an entrance. I worked from … Continue reading Volunteering at the opera “Toska”
Guitar playing
Guitar playing is taking up big chunks of my days and I can't even explain how good it feels. It's one of the things that I always do after getting back from school - like a routine. It has sort of become my meditation through music. This month I focused on learning something more difficult … Continue reading Guitar playing
Volunteering at the national blood center
This Friday me and my friend Deividas went down to the National Blood Center to volunteer. I have told him about volunteering here before and he suggested to go there together, because we both understand the importance of blood donations. I already knew the ropes, therefore I could explain what to do and how to … Continue reading Volunteering at the national blood center
Volunteering at “Maisto bankas”
This month I volunteered at maisto bankas again after some people from TB2 invited me to do so. I feel like this is a great way to give back to society especially after thinking about the fact that I never have to experience extreme poverty, which to me seems like such a horrid thing. So … Continue reading Volunteering at “Maisto bankas”
Acting in the play of šimtadienis.
I finally got to act in front of a lot of people. I was very excited to do this, since it has been a long time for me without being on stage. The last time I performed something live was 2 years ago, when I was still in music school. And until now, I hadn't … Continue reading Acting in the play of šimtadienis.
